Chardé Smith Anglin
Founder of Triple Eight Creative · Beauty Experience Strategist · Educator
I've spent more than 20 years in the beauty industry, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that understanding people is just as important as understanding the products and services we create for them.
My career began behind the beauty counter and grew into artistry, education, entrepreneurship, and now building Triple Eight Creative, a company exploring how beauty, technology, and hospitality can create more considered experiences.
Along the way, I've learned what it means to build a business, lose one, start again, and turn years of experience into something new. Today, I bring that perspective into the work I do with beauty professionals, founders, brands, and organizations through education, creative strategy, speaking, and collaboration.
I believe expertise should open doors, not keep us confined to the roles where we first developed it.
More about Chardé
More Than 20 Years in the Making
From MAC Cosmetics and New York Fashion Week to co-founding Joli Beauty Bar, my career has always been about more than artistry. It's been about understanding people, creating experiences, and building meaningful connections through beauty.
Those experiences, including the lessons that came from starting over, led me to create Triple Eight Creative, where beauty meets technology, hospitality, and entrepreneurship.
I'm still an artist at heart, but today I'm just as interested in what happens beyond the chair.
Beauty is the lens. Consideration is the standard.
The Work Behind the Perspective
Everything I'm building today is informed by years of working directly with people, leading creative teams, educating professionals, and understanding what makes an experience memorable.
MAC Cosmetics | Artistry & Education
More than two decades of professional beauty experience helped shape my approach to artistry, customer relationships, education, and the importance of understanding the person in front of you.
Joli Beauty Bar | Entrepreneurship
As co-founder of Joli Beauty Bar, I helped build a New York City beauty destination recognized by Time Out New York in 2017. It was an early chapter in understanding how artistry, hospitality, community, and business come together.
Editorial, Television & Fashion
My artistry work has included New York Fashion Week, Chelsea & Walker, InStyle, The Today Show, and The View's 25th anniversary coverage, alongside editorial and brand projects. Each experience strengthened the creative foundation I bring into my work today.
Triple Eight Creative | Beauty Innovation
Through Triple Eight Creative, I'm developing the Beauty Layer, the Signature Glam System, and Char, an AI beauty concierge. Together, they explore how professional expertise and technology can make beauty discovery and customer experiences more personal.
Speaking & Professional Education
From beauty masterclasses and industry conversations to speaking and community experiences, I share what I've learned about artistry, entrepreneurship, customer experience, and building with intention.

Your Expertise Deserves a Business That Supports It.
Welcome to Inner Circle Pro.
I know what it's like to be great at what you do and still wonder how to turn that expertise into a business that works for you.
Being talented doesn't automatically teach you how to price your services, communicate your value, build a website, manage your customer experience, or use new technology to support your work. Those are skills we often have to figure out while we're already running a business.
That’s Why I Created Inner Circle Pro
It's a professional community within Triple Eight Creative for beauty professionals and founders who want to think beyond their next appointment and build with more clarity and intention.
Through professional education, conversations, resources, and practical guidance, we explore what it means to build a business around your expertise, strengthen relationships with your customers, and use digital tools without losing the human side of your work.
You don't have to have everything figured out to be part of the conversation.
Stay in the Room.
Some conversations deserve to continue beyond the event, the workshop, or the first introduction.
I share reflections from building Triple Eight Creative, lessons from more than 20 years in beauty, practical ideas for creative entrepreneurs, and updates on professional education, workshops, and opportunities to connect.
If you're building something of your own, finding new ways to use your expertise, or simply interested in where beauty and business are heading, I'd love to stay connected.
Thoughtful conversations, useful resources, and professional updates from Chardé and Triple Eight Creative.
